Can They do as They Please?
SALT LAKE. Cry March

SALT LAKE CRY. March 10, 1887.
To the Editor of The HERALD.
Your remarks, in THE HERALD of Fri
day, concerning the angry outburst of
the chief justice in open court, the day
before, when he blurted out his personaI
auimosity towards Mr.. George A Mears,
appeared to me appropriate to the occa-
sion. No matter what his Honor's teeI-
lngs might have been towards the OBJ
ject OF his wrath, open court was Ger
tainly not the place for their manifesto
ton. When l read the accounts of the
occurrence in the different papers. /
thought OF Variants remarkable excla-
nation, II refuse TO prosecute" when
the case of an alleged ant1-Mormon
l.. and l.. or adulterer was in cues
ton, and when, if l mistake not, the
chief justice was in accord with the pro-
secutor. those two occurrences appear
to me TO be much OF sameness, But
are the Judge and the prosecutor perfect
autocrats IN open court, to do as thew
"dern please" justice or no Justice. law
or no law? That's what would like
very much to know. If a prosecutor
wont prosecute and judge wont try
only such cases as they please, had thew
not ought to resign their positions and
let some others occupy them who will do
their duty?

THE SITUATION.
''Veritas" Gives His Views of the
Venal Press of Utah.

The letter class of mankind are work
ing to suppress vice and immortality of
every kind, and any effort in this
direction is not outside the letter and
spirit of true Christian. To do good
and to work righteousness is acceptable
10 God. Our own loved America is
beseiged with corrupt literature and
the blighting influence of sensualitv
and crime, and nothing seems to satisfy
the seekers after such corruption so
well as the uttersnces and vile SANDER
OF q venal press, whence and wherever
1t might be issued.
1t is not too much to say, that the
religious element throughout the land
becomes vindictive and reyengeful
when any doctrine is uttered that is not
In keeping with the views of men and
socletles that write themselves up as
orthodox Christians, however much
they differ from each other, and
especially the difference in which they
construe the revelations of the one IN
changeable God. If We were not
cognlzant of being in possession OF
divine revelation from God, we should
~ suppose UNIV nCA DS
justified IN their diversity of opinion.
There is singular fatality that fol-
lows religious societies throughout the
world. The divinity of God is encircled
ooy an unbroken eternity; the same to-
day as yesterday and forever, and
every revelation coming from God de-
mands, from man, recognition OF Gods
supremacy. being before all things
human, and will continue to be above
all things human. Notwithstanding
men s resistance, the religious societies
commence with the declaration that !
God is supreme; but whenever the
supremacy OF God is asserted, posit- |
lively. 1t is met by religionists as an en-
croachment upon the political and in
dividuai rights of men. Here is the |
weak point among the religious bodies
OF protesting Christians, and proves
their ruin in the enforcement of Gods
supremacy.

In sailing round the world eastward
the days are each a little less than twenty
four hours, according to the speed of the
ship, AS the sun is met every morning a
little earlier. These little differences
added together will amount in the course
of the Circumnavigation to twenty-four
hours, giving the sailors an extra day,
not in Imagination, but in sober truth, as
they will have actually eaten an extra
days food and consumed an extra days
grog. On the other hand, in sailing
westward, the sun is overtaken a little
each day, and SO each day is rather longer
than twenty-four hours, and clocks and
watches are found to be too fast. This
also will amount, in sailing round to the
starting point again, to one whole day, by
which the reckoning has fallen in arrear.
The eastern ship, then, has gained q day
and the western ship has lost one, leading
to this apparent paradox, that the former
ship has a clear gain of two whole days
over the latter, s~upposing them to nave
started and returned together.-Cham-
bers' journal.

AN INTERESTING CHARACTER.

The Gaucho of the Pampas and His Pecu-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Cruel.
The Gaucho (gowcho) of the pampas
IS the most interesting character on the
continent. He is the descendant of the
aristocratic Spanish don and the women
of the Guarani race, a species unknown
to any other part of the world, whose
nearest likeness is the Bedouin of Arabia.
He is mt once the most indolent and the
most active of human beings, for when
he is not in the saddle, ~devouring space
on the back of a tireless bronco, he is
sleeping in apathetic Incidence among
his mistresses or gambling with his
chums. Half savage and half courtier,
the Gaucho is as courteous as he is cruel,
and will thrum an air on the native
mandolin with the same ease and nom
chalance as he will murder a fellow
being or slaughtet a steer. He recog-
nizes no law but his own will and the
unwritten code of the cattle range. and
all violations of this code are punished
by Punishment or death. Whoever of
tends him must fight or fly, and his ven
geance is as enduring as, it is vigilant.
He never shoots, or strikes with his fist,
and his only weapons are the short knife
which is never absent from his hand or
his belt, the lasso, and the ''bolas," i'm
plements of his trade, offensive and de-
~fensive.
A fight between Gauchos is always to
the death, and it is the duty of him who
kills TO see that his victim is decently
buried, and the widow and orphans cared
for. The widow, if she pleases him, be-
comes his mistress, and the orphans grow
up to be Gauchos under his tutelage. As
superstitious as a Hindoo, ~peaceable
when sober, but regardless of God and
man when drunk, as brave as a lion, as
active as a panther, with an endurance
equal to any test, faithful to his friends,
as implacable as fate to any one who of
tends him, he has exercised a powerful
influence upon the destiny of the ArEen-
tine Republic, and retarded civilization
until overcome by an increased immigra-
ton of foreigners.
The Argentines once had a Gaucho
dictator, Don Manuel Rosas, 1.-THE Eter-
nal SO he called himself, who ruled
with a despotism of iron and blood for
twenty-five years-from 1880 to 1852.
He was the son of a wealthy Gaucho of
the same name, and commanded a regi-
ment of his kind in the war for indepen-
dence. So powerful did he become that
it was an easy step from the chieftaiu
ship of the Gauchos to the presidency of
the republic, and finally to the head of an
absolute despotism, which existed for
nearly a quarter of a century, in defiance
of the constitution and the laws.
The day of the Gaucho is passing. Immi-
grafton and civilization have driven him
to the extreme frontier. Like the North
American Indian, he decays when do
mesticated, and a tame Gaucho is always
a drunkard, a loafer and a thief.-Wil-
am Eleroy Curtis in Harper's Magazine.

Telegraphic cipher codes, the use of
which was, up to within a few years,
confined to a comparative few, are now
prepared for almost every kind of bust
ness which patronizes the wires to any
extent. Each commercial line has its
specially constructed code. Several of
these are Chicago inventions, including
one or two designed for cable telegraph
ing. The copyright of a popular code is
a valuable property. The one used most
by grain Spectators netted its owner a
competence. Not many mercantile con-
Germs own exclusive codes. Probably the
most elaborate commercial code in the
world is published in New York, and it is
really a model of ingenuity. 1t contains
100, 600 words, drawing upon every Ian
guage in Europe. 1t is arranged in tables
in such a that a Chicago mer-
chant may communicate through it with
twenty or thirty European correspond
ents, using practically a different cipher
for each. Half a dozen kinds of business,
with their peculiar phrases and express
sions, are covered by this book, which is
sold at $50 a copy. The military cipher
used by the army during the rebellion,
which eluded all attempts by the Confed-
crates to fathom its secrets, was for many
years after the wal used by a well known
detective agency.-Chicago News.

In fact, journalism in New York is not
much in the hands of the elders. There
are comparatively few men engaged in
the profession who have passed the fifth
eth mile post. From 80 to 40 are the
usual ages, and go through any of the
shabby, dingy little barns and rat holes
that serve as offices for the newspapers
and you will rarely see a gray head in
them. What becomes of the old journal
lists is almost as much of n problem as
what becomes of the old moons or the
lost pins. 1t is the necessity of the pro-
fession that makes it so. The first need
is to keep in warm and intimate touch
with the times. and most men harden
into set opinions and their impressions
crystalline after so; they get out of SYM
pathy with the new and rising generation
and make way for younger men who I'M
derstand the situation better. That part
of the proposition is simple enough, but
what becomes of these older men when
pushed out of the way l can't answer,
for / don't know and never have found
any one who can tell me.-New York

A FRAGRANT SUBJECT.
Peppermint OIL, Where It is Grown, How
Distilled and whittier Shipped.

Distilled and WHITTIER Shipped.
1.-THE spectators are at work again. -
said a wholesale druggist when shown a
dispatch from Lyons. N. Y, stating that
there are over 200, 900 pounds of pepper
mint oil in Wayne county, and in 5
quence the price is lower than at any
time in the past thirty years.
Peppermint is a small crop compared
with wheat or corn, " he continued, land
it is grown on a small territory, Wayne
county, in this state, producing nearly all
the peppermint oil that is used in the
world. These facts make it a tempting
field for speculation"
"How do the spectators operator"
They begin just as that dispatch indi-
Gates: first, by saying that there is a large
quantity of oil held over from last year,
which is not true; then they overstate the
amount on hand, and finally they clinch
the matter by saying that only $3.50 a
pound is offered. That price may be
offered, but the farmers who produce the
oil are too sharp to sell at less than $3.50
n pound, and they will hold it and beat
the spectators at their own game"
"Why is not more of 1t raised?"
"The mint requires peculiar soil and
special care is needed both in the raising
Of the plant and the distilling of the oil.
Thu crop is grown on land that is moist
and has a rich, sandy loan. The mint is
planted in burrows thirty inches apart,
and while growing requires a great deal
of cultivation, as every weed has to be
kept out. Otherwise the oil would not be
good. When full grown and in bloom it
is cut with a scythe and hauled to the
still as oon as it is wilted.
Large steam tubs with tightly fitting
covers are used to hold the mint, which
is tramped down thoroughly. The steam
is turned on at the bottom, and, passing
upward through the mass of mint, vapor-
ICES the oil and carries it out through a
pipe at the top. This pipe carries the
steam n oil into a spiral worm or cooler
surrounded by cold water. Here the
steam is condensed into water and the oil
settles on top of it. Both now pass to a
receiving tank, which has an overflow
pipe running from the bottom up nearly
to a level with the top. The object of
this il to draw off the water from the
bottom and leave the oil to be dipped
from the top. The oil is as clear in color
as the best kerosene. 1t is packed in tin
cans for shipment and is sent all over the
United States, and considerable of it goes
abroad"
as there zone raised in Europe?"
Eyes, Germany produces a little, but
we send more to Germany thar Germany
raises, and we furnish not only England
and France, but Russia and Austria as
well. The greatest use for it is in con-
f~ectionery. Peppermint lozengers are
eaten from one end of the globe to the
other, and you can form some idea of the
quantity of them made from the fact that
$3.50, 900 worth Of the oil is used every
year to flavor them."-New York Mail

Mr.. Mcpherson relates an incident il
Illustrative of Stevens kindness and con-
sideration. An old friend of his dying,
left a widow in destitute circumstances.
Stevens bought the property at sherif's
sale and continued the widow in posses
sion. To keep off grasping creditors he
had himself appointed trustee for the old
lady, and on the back of the deed she at
tested the fact that he was her trustee to
the full value of the property. There is,
however, not a scrap of paper throwing
light on this transaction, unless it may be
a letter from Stevens, which descendants
of the old lady, who is long since dead,
allege they have, but which Mr.. McPher-
son thus far has vainly tried to see. The
property is worth from $500 to 81, 900,
and is the veritable stone house in which
Gen. Lee had his headquarters when the
battle of Gettysburg was fought.-Lan-
caster Inquirer.

Would you believe it possible to spend
a vacation in solitude in a crowded hotel?'
a young New Yorker asked a friend.
well, it is. I've Just done it. First, l
happened to say in the smoking room
that L had often caught blue fish by
throwing a bare hook in the breakers
and pulling it quickly. This is a regular
practice at Nantucket, but on Long
Island, where | told it, no one knew of
it, and l was viewed with distrust by all
the men. Next l got up a children's
sailing party, and WE were becalmed
until Q O'Clock the next morning. When
we reached the wharf half the ladies at
the hotel were down there, the mothers
frightfully angry, and some of them on
the verge of Mysteries. Net one of the
ladies would even look at me after hat.
FINALLY, us l stood on the stoop one
day, a stranger asked me if there were
any mosquitoes there. Millions said
l. Some of the larger ones the sports
men shoot, and think they are snipe.'
1t was the truth, only put q trife more
picturesquely than was necessary, per-
haps. II turned out that that mar had
an idea of purchasing the hotel. After
that the proprietor and clerks would not
speak to me, aUd l finished the week
with all the loneliness of a man on a raft
in mid ocean. '-IIarper's Bazaar.

Mr.. William Brewster notes some in
teresting features in the habits of a young
Kittiwake gull of the st. Lawrence. He
brought home n young one, its mate hav-
ing died of thirst, the other one surviving
through the accidental discovery that the
bird drank only salt water! Both the
birds o~bstinately refused to drink fresh
water. Observations on this bird by
Professor A. Hyatt showed how slowly
and timidly it acquired the art of swim
ming and flying. The bird when first
forced TO fly was thrown into the air,
and, to the surprise of Professor Hyatt,
flew with great rapidity and precision,
circling about the house and through the
apple trees, and, finally, flew near him
several times in the greatest agitation till
he caught the bird, which was completely
exhausted. For n long time the bird
went through this maneuver, showing
that while it knew how to fly it could
not alight, though it finally acquired this
faculty .-Professor E. S. Morse in Pop
ular Science Monthly.
